Frequently asked questions
About Prof. Winklerlaan 87, Castricum
Was €551 a fair rent for this apartment?
The energy label was D, so heating costs would be on the higher side, but the rent itself reflected the social housing sector. There are no other comparable rentals currently available in the neighbourhood to benchmark against.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D. This is an official registration from EP-Online, and it indicates the home's energy performance. The label does not tell you anything about the condition of the building itself.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
The nearest supermarket is a Dekamarkt at about 1.1 km, which is roughly a ten-minute walk. An Ekoplaza is at 1.2 km and an Aldi at 1.3 km. For a wider choice, there are ten supermarkets within five kilometres, including a SPAR and an Albert Heijn a bit further out.
What schools are nearby?
Basisschool Cunera is the closest primary school at about 478 metres, just a couple of streets away. Basisschool Montessori is at 831 metres. For secondary education, Vonk Castricum is at 963 metres and Supreme College at 1.1 km. There are twenty schools within five kilometres in total.
How is the neighbourhood for daily life?
Residents describe Bakkum-Zuid as quiet, green and friendly, with people knowing each other. One review notes there are not many services nearby, so you would travel a short distance for most errands. The train station is 1.5 km away, and a park is just 300 metres from the home.
Is this social housing?
Yes, this is a social housing unit. The rent of €551 per month fell within the social housing threshold, and it was listed via a housing corporation. This meant there might be specific eligibility criteria for who could rent it, though those were not detailed in the listing.
